NearPerfectWednesday

What a great day we have had. Both my babies were in great moods and loads of fun.

Totgirl was in a happy, playful mood. She played, ate three meals, and took a nap...and all without a fight! YIPPPEEEEE!!!! I made sure throughout the day the day to let her know just how much I enjoyed her and to praise her over and over and over again!

Today she was really into birthday party play. Not surprising I guess since she did go to two parties over the weekend. She also enjoyed some outside play (despite all the wasps and bees....UGG!). She read lots of books. Watched a little tv, not too much...far too happy a girl today to be bogged down by a tv! Played babies and preschool of course. Just using her imagination. Soveryfun to see.

Zachy stood independently today! Several times! Never though it was possible, but his HUGE smile got BIGGER! It's the utterly amazing uncensored look of pride only little kids seem to be able to have when they accomplish something huge. LOVELOVELOVE IT! Not walking, but he practiced with his sit 'n' stand walker outside on the front patio. He was working so hard at it, I could tell his legs were getting tired...back and forth, back and forth. Finally, since I could tell he needed a rest and his poor knees were getting all scraped up, I got him to sit on it and I pushed him . At this point I got mad at myself for not getting one of those sit 'n' stand push 'n' ride toys that has a long handle on it so you don't have to bend over...you'd think I'd learn the second time around! But, I solved that problem by having Mackenzie push him. And they both enjoyed this and life was good for everyone.

And there was yet another Zachy 'first' today...he pretended to talk on the phone. Mackenzie would not 'talk' on the phone until she could walk...wonder where she saw that modeled?
So, that was our day, a simple and yet near perfect Wednesday.
And, lastly....how 'bout a totmusing...

In the sweetest, most innocent little totvoice, she says, 'Momma, how about I eat some vegetables and then have some cookies?'  Again, again and again with big, pleading eyes and everything....my little totactress!
